He’s been waking all through the night And pacing ’round in the moonlight ‘Cause these same dreams won’t let him be Their cameras photograph everything That he’s been burying down beneath And show him what he don’t wanna see
He counts the hours creeping by His thoughts racing, eyes stuck open wide Tossing and turning through the night every night
He has this one where he’s being pursued by every woman he ever knew And at first grasp he wakes in gasps He watches her laying there sound asleep And wonders who’s chasing her through her dreams And when they do if it scares her too
He counts the hours creeping by His thoughts racing, eyes stuck open wide Tossing and turning through the night every night And oh how he needs to get some sleep But who waits down there so deep Leaves him shaking at the knees
Oh
He counts the hours creeping by His thoughts racing, eyes stuck open wide Tossing and turning through the night every night And oh how he needs to get some sleep But who waits down there so deep Leaves him shaking at the knees
